Nope, no real routines here. We didn't really intentionally start a bedtime routine of any sort until 4 months and not in earnest really until about 5 months. She fed when she needed to and then I'd go to bed, like you did, after the early evening feed (sometime between 7-9pm). My husband would wear her in the wrap until she needed to eat again (usually around 10-11pm) and then again until about 1am. I'd get as much sleep as I could in between, then he'd bring her up to bed around 1am and I'd feed her again and do whatever I had to do the rest of the night. We co-slept (still do!) so if she'd sleep next to me, which is did much more easily after about 8 weeks, then we'd do that. Sometimes I'd just end up holding her while she slept or fed most of the night in the early weeks. I guess you could call that a strategy more than a routine. It wasn't for her benefit, just so we could trade off on getting sleep. I would get quality sleep the first half of the night and my husband would get some sleep the second half. It worked for us. We'd do that next time. Personally, I don't think there's any point in trying to force a routine that you don't settle into naturally. If you find things fall into a routine early on, great. But the early weeks are hard. I think do whatever works to get yourself through them feeling healthy and happy and as well rested as possible. There's plenty of time for routines later on. But really what worked for us was just doing everything 50-50 as much as possible (as much as you can with BF) and taking sleeping in turns when needed. Sometimes my husband would just sit up most of the night holding her when I was really exhausted and needed sleep.
